WINNIPEG, MB, CANADA - Kevin West smacked three doubles and drove in three while Mark Holliman scattered four hits and one run over seven innings to lead the Goldeyes past the JackHammers 6-1 Wednesday night at Canwest Park.
Winnipeg (5-2) plated four runs in the second off Bear Bay (0-2), who made his first start against his former club. Luis Alen put the Goldeyes up 2-0 with a double and Wes Long followed with an RBI groundout. Aharon Eggleston and West continued the scoring with a single and double respectively, putting Winnipeg up 5-0.
Joliet (2-4) got on the board in the third after Jonathan Wyatt doubled with two away. Ryan Basham slapped a single up the middle to plate Wyatt to make it a 5-1 game.
